Kaki Bukit loops redux

Never too soon to take on the Kaki Bukit slopes again. Four loops, 16 slopes to climb. The usual beast is the KB climb that I merely try to survive. Some even went up Hendon and a nice detour through Selarang.

TC and HP came for one loop. Although TC missed the u-turn at Maris Stella (we were nursing CS's hissing tyre further back), he eventually realized that and made his way back. I was rather worried as it was the first time he rode the KB circuit with us. With the spade of accidents we had, we sure didn't need another. Trouble was that the usual sweepers were all bunched up in the back group. Need to talk to the group about watching out for new riders.

The long training rides, early mornings and lack of sleep were taking a toll, and I struggled this morning.

Read this wonderful prayer from Craig: Runner's Prayer Eleven. I quote:

"Guide us as we seek to experience its full potential. Grant that our past will not determine our future. We cannot change who we have been but we can change who we are becoming. We cannot change where we have been but we can change where we are going. Help us to find life’s best as we follow your leadership."
